Re: Game Cam deal - $25

Here is another camera deal from MidwayUSA, a bit more but still a good deal.
Wildgame Innovations T5i1 Infrared HD Game Camera 5 Megapixel Black
I own two of these, the previous version, and they still are an outstanding camera that continues to take great pictures after many years of service. I would rate these as good or better than my Cuddeback IR Attacks.
I wanted, notice I didn't say need, three new cameras that were simple and small enough to carry in my pack. I didn't care about controls, the fewer, the better. I had been looking at the Primos Bullet Proof 2; this is why I was waffling on the offer posted in the OP. This camera has no controls other than an on & off switch and will take a picture if activated, every 10 seconds. If it takes a picture every 10 seconds, the batteries (4AA lithium) will last a month but with practical use, three months. The date/time is set by USB and a PC, not a problem for me. They will go up on my feeders but I also wanted a small camera for my public hunting, so they are tough for others to find, with enough of them that I can extend a line down a trail; say one every 50 yards so I can know exactly where I need to be. With the dense brush in South Texas, that positioning is the difference between seeing anything at all and getting the shot opportunity.
I ended up finding them on sale for $49, so bought three.
